Tactics Starting 11 for the 22/23 season?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Whoever Conte chooses, I’m down with.

I’m actually really excited to see Bissouma and Skipp pair up at some point, so assuming the latter’s 100% fit and healthy, that would be a midfield I wouldn’t mind appearing on the sheet.
 
So would most agree that this is currently our best 11 with everyone fit and available? Obviously it might change if and when we make more signings:

Lloris

Doherty
Romero
Dier
Langlet
Perisic

Bissouma
Bentancur

Richarlison
Son
Kane

Feels very harsh to drop Davies as he's been excellent under Conte. But I don't think Langlet came to sit on the bench. Went for Richarlison over Kulusevski, just. Sometimes it's easy to forget that Kulusevski is only 22.
Why did you pick Doherty?
 
Doubt we'll have a settled midfield two. One iffy game will have a Bentancur replaced by Hojbjerg or Skipp and so on.

Lloris, Romero, Perisic, Kane, Son to start when fit. Plenty rotation at lcb, rwb and to a lesser extent ccb and RW.
 
People that are slagging Doherty clearly didn't watch his last games for us or are just stupid. He produced in like 5 games what Royal won't in a season. Ok, he was shit, I agree, but watching him play in that 3-4-3 was totally diferent, he's exactly the kind of player needed in Conte tactics.

Davies will start the season and so will Kulu.

I'm sure it will become more of a squad than a first 11 anyway
 
Erm, I could name Liverpool's starting XI most weeks and get it right 95% of the time. Same is true for quite a lot of teams.

Squads are important now but most teams will have an on paper best XI which they will play more often than not.
Doubt it. Reckon you have all players available for selection less than 5 games per season. It’s pointless and irrelevant
 
I thought the whole point of strength in depth is that we don't have a definitive starting XI....

It'll be any 11 from 18/22 squad players... Without disrupting the team.
That's the dream isn't it?
